Dear  John, 

I  have  been  in  this  country  one  year,  and  like  it 
very  well.  I  have  learned  to  speak,  read  and  write

dollars  a  week.  When  I  know  my  work  better,  I 
shall  get  twenty  dollars  a  week. 

The  work  is  not  hard.  The  factory  is  clean  and 
pleasant. 

If  you  come  to  America  I  can  find  you  a  good 
position. 

Very  truly  yours, 
NICOLO.

loading  broken 

heavy  hospital 

John  worked  on  the  fourth  floor  of  a  big  factory. 
He  could  not  speak  or  read  English. 

There    were    many    signs    about    the    mill.      John 
wondered  what  they  meant. 

One  day  he  was  loading  heavy  wire  on  to  an  ele- 
vator.    The  wire  was  to  be  taken  to  the  first  floor. 
John  wished  to  go  to  the  first  floor,  too. 
There  was  a  sign  on  the  elevator.     It  said 


FREIGHT  ONLY 
NO  PASSENGERS  ALLOWED 


John  stepped  on  the  elevator.  Just  then  it  started. 
The  heavy  gate  hit  him.  He  was  taken  to  the  hospi- 
tal. He  could  not  work  for  three  months. 

Since  then  John  has  learned  to  read  English  and 
knows  what  all  of  the  signs  mean.

He  had  been  late  two  mornings.  He  did  not  begin 
his  work  on  time.  Two  men  worked  with  him.  They 
could  not  begin  their  work  on  time,  either.  They 
had  to  wait  for  his  stock. 

Mr.  Brown  was  sorry  to  lose  fifty  cents.  But  he 
knew  it  was  only  fair.  By  coming  late  he  had  delayed 
his  own  work,  and  that  of  two  other  men. 

If  every  man  came  in  late  there  would  be  little 
work  done.

George  was  born  in  Greece.  He  came  to  America 
five  years  ago.  He  made  his  living  by  selling  fruit. 
He  bought  a  little  fruit  each  day.  He  piled  it  neatly 
in  his  cart.  He  pushed  his  cart  through  the  streets. 
He  sold  all  his  fruit  each  day. 

He  saved  his  money.  He  put  it  in  the  Savings 
Bank.  It  was  safe  there  and  the  bank  paid  George 
for  letting  it  use  his  money.  The  money  was  on 
interest. 

Last  week  George  bought  a  big  fruit  store.  He 
paid  two  thousand  dollars  ($2,000)  for  it.  This  was 
the  money  George  had  saved  and  put  in  the  bank.

Mr.  Brown  had  a  very  bad  cold.     He  wanted  to

Dr.  WILLIAM  B.  CURTIS 

Office  Hours  :  9  to  10  A.M.

He  went  into  the  doctor's  office.     The  doctor  ex- 
amined him. 

The  doctor  gave  Mr.  Brown  a  prescription.     Mr. 
Brown  took  the  prescription  to  the  drug  store. 

The   druggist   gave   him   some   medicine.     The   di- 
rections for  taking  it  were  on  the  bottle. 

He  took  a  teaspoonful  in  half  a  glass  of  water  after 
each  meal.

treatment,  that  is,  good  nourishment,  plenty  of  sleep,  fresh  air,  etc.; 
but  that  colds  which  hang  on  several  weeks  become  dangerous 
and  undermine  the  system.  In  such  cases  a  physician's  advice 
is  necessary.)

Manuel  brushes  his  teeth  three  times  a  day. 

This  is  his  toothbrush.  He  dips  it  in  warm  water. 
He  brushes  his  teeth  up  and  down.  He  does  not 
brush  them  across. 

Sometimes  he  uses  tooth  paste.  He  puts  it  on  his 
toothbrush  when  he  brushes  his  teeth. 

This  is  a  piece  of  silk  thread.  Manuel  draws  it 
between  his  teeth.  It  helps  to  keep  them  clean. 

Anyone  who  takes  good  care  of  their  teeth  will 
have  better  health.  Many  diseases  which  have  caused 
death  have  been  traced  to  bad  teeth. 

A  soldier  who  has  bad  teeth  is  never  placed  in  the
